there are many good and bad things about the 6.0, do some research and you will see the some of the problems it has, with 100k miles on your 7.3...thats nothing for these diesels, not even broke in yet, stick with the 7.3, atleast that way you KNOW what you have.

2 most import things to keep with you, Condoms and a handgun, never know when you'll be out and need protection.

Well what do you want to spend and what HP/TQ ratings are you looking for?
To bulletproof a 6.0, say 5k ish. Then to get to 500HP, you might have to only drop in a MTW turbo along with intake/exhaust.
Or do the whole fuel, injectors, tuning (FICM/PCM), turbo(s), etc on a 6.0 and for the same money be no where close with 7.3. Just truth.

just build up your 7.3 . it's always better to stand outside of the pack
Don't worry about them miles, i'm pushing 300K on mine and getting ready to throw in a set of 250/80's and all the other regular mods. And i know there are years left in my old motor

Fuel, injectors, bigger oil, forged rods if you don't already, turbo, probably valve springs and push rods, and possibly a transmission. Def. TQ, VB and cooler to be conservative.
So 7000? Just a guess.
